- Everyone's project needs are different. You may be cutting a reality show with hundreds of hours of footage or a one minute and 30 second YouTube video where the material you have and storage space requirements will differ tremendously. In many cases so will how you organize your assets. Final Cut Pro X is designed to offer solutions for every editing workflow. In this course we will explore all the different ways we can organize assets and projects to get the application to work for you.
Setting up good habits at the beginning of your project are essential. To draw a parallel, think of it as the gateway you're building and how you'll work till completion. If the gateway is clear and visible, it provides easier access. If the gateway isn't, we'll see that it's hard to find your way there. Organization will save you time when you begin to edit, and more importantly allow you to have a stronger grasp on the material you are working with. Good organization will allow you to focus on what matters: the story you want to tell.
